Definition(s)

  • In order to subvert terrorist plans, it is necessary to collect information about terrorists and their organizations, plans, membership, and objectives. Terrorists usually do not give up this information freely, and often the threat of death is insufficient to compel a suspected terrorist to provide information to interrogators—indeed, death may have an ideological appeal to certain religiously centered terrorists.
